AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that a joint venture between AECOM and Black
& Veatch (AECOM-B&V Lakes and Rivers JV) has been selected
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide
architectural and engineering services for infrastructure projects
for the 17 states within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division,
and nationwide. The multiple-award contract has a five-year term
and is funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act.
“We’re proud to continue our 100-year partnership with the USACE
delivering infrastructure solutions that protect communities and
the environment,” said Karl Jensen, executive vice president of
AECOM’s National Governments business. “This important work ties
directly to our firmwide environmental, social, and governance
objectives, which are rooted in our commitment to delivering a
better world, and we look forward to teaming with Black &
Veatch on this transformative program.”
The program will focus on renovating and modernizing
infrastructure, mitigating flood risks, and restoring ecosystems.
Projects under this contract are expected to include sustainable
design, renovation, and modernization of critical infrastructure,
including dams, locks, levees, flood walls, pump stations, bridges,
roadways, and canals, as well as stand-alone buildings and
ecosystem restoration.
“As the USACE seeks to reduce disaster risks and energize local
economies, we’re proud to bring comprehensive expertise in
sustainability and resiliency that meets its program’s complex
technical needs,” said Matt Crane, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S.
West region. “Our team is excited by the opportunity to design
innovative solutions that improve critical infrastructure and
strengthen resilience for generations to come.”
The scope of work may include master planning; feasibility
studies; site assessments; permitting; environmental compliance;
and design for design-bid-build and design-build projects. Through
an integrated design approach and an emphasis on environmental
stewardship, sustainable design efforts may include energy and
water conservation, use of recovered and recycled materials, use of
alternative energy, and waste reduction measures.

federal and military clients for more than a century and continue
to expand globally,” said Rick Kaiser, Federal Agencies Segment
